Digital wallets are a payment option that continues to gain traction among consumers due to their simplicity and ease. Many providers, however, may be unfamiliar with the technology and how it can benefit their practices and patients.  At the most basic level, a digital wallet is a digital, mobile version of patients’ financial accounts that is easily accessible via a computer or smartphone, eliminating much of the need to carry an actual wallet.

Many physicians experienced steep revenue decline as well as the challenges of securing the right medical supplies when they were needed. They also saw how the industry’s

Clinical Simulation and its Integral Role in Healthcare Training

The COVID-19 pandemic caused a major shift in medical education. Since students were not classified as critical employees of hospitals, it became difficult for them to gain clinical hours with patients.

Navigating a Perfect Storm Moment: Healthcare Labor Shortages and the Potential of the Digital Workforce

It remains to be seen when COVID-19 will finally be in the rearview mirror. Each day there are fresh headlines about new waves of infections popping up around the world. My physician said he expects vaccine boosters to become a permanent part of the annual flu shot regimen.  The healthcare industry has been under nonstop pressure since February 2020.

COVID-19: As Omicron Variant Spreads, Let’s Not Repeat Rookie Mistakes

Understanding an Individual’s Uniquely Personal Health Beliefs & Behaviors to Drive Better Outcomes

When it comes to health and wellness, everyone has an approach as unique as they are. What’s more, is that an individual’s approach to their health can – and most likely will – evolve over the course of their lifetime. A decade ago, people weren’t dabbling in CBD to ease their stress, having Zoom calls with their doctors or riding a cycle with thousands of other people from the comfort of their living room.
